I think my life happens in an interesting era. My first 7 years I spent in a political system that eventually disappeared, and the following years of rapid changes for me were also years of rapid changes of the social and political environment I lived in. For this reason I feel strong engagement with political topics. For my residency I intend to keep a line in my work, where I cut, paste and delete things: symbols, segments of movies and texts etc. to find hidden aspects of reality that a disturbance can reveal.
